Green Day: Geek Stink Breath Meaning

Song Released: 1995

Geek Stink Breath Lyrics

I'm on a mission
I made my decision
To lead a path of self destruction
A slow progression
Killing my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth

I'm on a roll
No self comtrol
I'm blowing off steam with methanphetamine
Don't know what I...

   This song is about the harshness of crystal meth addiction and how it can quickly consume your life and do a lot of physical damage in a short amount of time (hence the picking scabs off the face part)

   Well, the video was of his friend going to the dentist to get all his teeth pulled out due to the use of meth.

   This is a song about Methamphetamines (Speed) that BJ Armstrong used to abuse up to and possibly including the recording of the Insomniac EP.
   
   Verse 1 -
   I'm on a mission
   I made my decision
   To lead a path of self destruction
   A slow progression
   Killing my complexion
   And it's rotting out my teeth
   
   -Referring to his slowly deteriorating state-
   -Physiological effects of Meth-
   
   Chorus
   
   I'm on a roll
   No self control
   I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
   Don't know what I want
   That's all that I've got
   And I'm picking scabs off my face
   
   -Same theme, an addict out of control, meth heads pick scabs caused by the tweeking effect, also, it rots teeth out (as illustrated with the dentistry in the video)-
   
   Verse 2
   
   Every hour my blood is turning sour
   And my pulse is beating out of time
   I found a treasure
   filled with sick pleasure
   And it sits on a thick white line
   
   -Addiction, tweaking, and intensified/erratic heartbeat-
   -White line would infer he snorts it-
   
   An so on...Brain Stew is also about Meth. Brain Stew more refers to the fact that it is extremely difficult to sleep when on Meth. So much so that one might begin to hallucinate due to lack of sleep. The song of Brain Stew is basically the "come down" of Meth, with Jaded being the "re-up". In Jaded, he apparently believes that sobriety is too difficult to obtain and that he is doomed to exist as a Meth addict.
